We stayed here before flying out of Tahiti early in the morning. We took a cab to and from the hotel with no issues and relatively inexpensive. The hotel staff was exceptionally nice. The room, very basic. It was a little outdated, but clean and served the purpose of an overnight stay for a budget price.

This is a wonderful training hotel, run by very experienced professionals who are teaching Polynesian high school students how to have careers in the hospitality industry. They only advertise through boooking dot com as they want to only have a manageable number of guests. We felt lucky to be a part of their end-of-semester holiday breakfast party just prior to their Christmas vacation. In fact there were only two or three people staying there when we did so it was very quiet and personal.
A few caveats. Do not make this your only hotel in French Polynesia. It was at the end of our 11 day trip, we had a rental car, and we are low impact travelers. So the hotel was excellent for us. The a/c was the best we had on the islands. Also the view from the balcony (with table and 2 chairs) of the harbor in the distance was gorgeous. Breakfast is extra cost by prior reservation and we loved watching the students learn the ropes with occasional errors. Rooms are spartan with firm twin beds, very small tv, mini-frig, and an old school safe with a skeleton-type key.
It is hard to find this hotel on any map. Thus I am posting pictures of the signs at the traffic circle after you leave the airport and pass the Intercontinental Hotel, taking the 3rd exit toward the "Lycee Hotelier de Punaauia" and going up a long steep hill, bearing left at the top inside the gate. The gate is closed for security early in the evening but they give you the code for late access.
We only paid about US$75 per night so it is a real bargain. Breakfast was an extra $15 per person but it was more food than either of us could eat. Internet is extra so we did not use it. There is a teapot in the room along with powdered coffee and tea.
For eating, there is a great grocery, Carrefour, about a 5 minute drive down the hill and next to McDonald's. Also nearby is the waterfront dining area, where our favorite is the Pink Coconut for outdoor seating and views of the harbor boats.
One final remark: Air Tahiti Nui has very late (midnight) flights so the hotel graciously allowed us to stay until 10 pm on a 1/2 day rate. That made our departure so much more enjoyable rather than waiting in the hot airport (no a/c) for hours and hours!

You need to hire a car to get here, as it is quite far away from Papeete and any other attractions. If you took a taxi, you'd be stuck here. Ask and look for signs to the "Lycée Hotelier de Tahiti", as there is no mention of the Tiki Hotel at all. The receptionist tried her utmost to do the check-in in English, and she was delightful. The room was basic, but comfortable and clean. Breakfast was delicious. The rates are excellent, and the proximity to the airport is very helpful.

This place is an absolute gem!!! Great location close to the airport, to downtown Papeete, to local eateries and grocery stores. The best part was the rate for a two night stay! I'm starting this review as a placeholder, but will add many more details and photos of my room...with the price I paid (unbelievable) once I get to Moorea in a few hours.

Our stay at this hotel - actually two stays in early and late May - can be described as strange. It is all dus to the fact that the hotel is part of the educational facility where it is situated. The first room was not bad, and was as expected. The restaurant was closed as it was examination time, so no one to cook and serve. Breakfast took some time, as only one person was there to serve. When we arrived for our second stay, there was nobody at the hotel. We had to make a phonecall and wait for 25 minutes, after which the lady - not a student - told us that we had been expected to arrive earlier - even if we clearly communicated our arival time - and that due to holidays and exams the hotel was as good as closed - so we were 'upgraded' to staying in one of the cottages in front of the hotel. Together with people in the other cottage we were the only guests in a closed hotel. They should announce situations like this beforehand - we booked via Booking com and there was no mentioning of this. The hotel is situated on a campus, so you have to pass an electronic gate to enter (and leave). During the last few days of our stay a large funfair opened en route to the hotel, starting from 5 pm. As a consequence there were enormous traffic jams, through which you patiently had to make your way to the gate. The first time it took us almost an hour to pass this area - later on we managed to avoid arriving/leaving the hotel after 5 pm. Not a place to recommend the way we experienced it - but maybe it is different when you stay there in a different season?

The hotel is managed by the hotel school. It is next to the airport and walking distance from the beach, up on the hill with a great view. The rooms and chalet are clean, confortable and spacious. The service and breakfast are correct. The few things they could improve are the shower grouting, the facade paint which is pealing and the access electric gate which is not easy to open.

Exactly as described - a nice hotel with great staff.
My parents’ previous booked hotel messed up and Tiki stepped in at last minute, late at night.
We had already booked for us to stay once me and my sister arrived - we were in the bungalows with a view over the sea.
Rooms were simple but nice and clean. Shampoo and shower gel was provided - classical Tahitian ‘tiare monoi’, which was great.
It’s a training hotel and the staff are really really lovely and vibrant. I really enjoyed my welcome to french polynesia at Tiki. I would highly recommend!

We stayed at the Tiki Hotel overnight before flying out. It has a great location close to the airport and the garden bungalow was very nice. The staff were super friendly and helpful and more than happy to accommodate an early check in and provide us with a packed breakfast because our flight was so early.One of the things that really appealed, is that this Hotel is part of a local university and they are giving first hand hospitality training to local young Tahitians.It was great value for money ,clean and tidy with lovely fresh flowers in the rooms. We would definitely return for an overnight stay. Any longer and it would pay to have access to a car as there aren't many facilities close by.

It's about 10 minutes from the airport and has a great location. Hotel is quite well managed and gives one a Tahitian feel. Rooms are clean and large. Staff is extremely friendly and happy to help at all times.
Cons: they don't organise transfer from airport to the hotel (even for a charge). The hotel is not known to many taxi drivers, which poses a challenge if your flight lands at an odd hour.
